Speaking after Theresa May waltzed into Leeds to deliver a speech to Tory activists this evening, Leeds West MP Rachel Reeves said:

“Theresa May has been Prime Minister for nine months, yet this is the first occasion in all that time she’s bothered to come to Yorkshire. People here aren’t fools – she can’t just rock up at election time and demand their vote after completely neglecting our area throughout her time in office.
